Why was my X- Axis an increasing function on Y rather than an decreasing function on Y as in the video?

Question

Hey Wayne (or who every else might know the answer),

I used the Arcing ball bounce start file labeled 2.8 and was following along with the exercise video except when it came to the function line for the x-axis mine was increasing on x & y rather than decreasing on x & y like in Wayne's video. It seemed to look OK anyway but I don't understand why my y increased rather than decreased. I am using Blender 2.91.2.

Ciao

Hi Agro,

I think I corrected the orientation of the controls for the 2.8+ version of the rig so it would match world space.

It works the same, but in the video, the local orientation of the bone thinks that down is up and up is down.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks, I guessed that might be the case.
